The LIPPINCOTT GROUP represents more than 36 years of continuous local real estate experience, growing from the business founded by Emma Lee Halverson in 1972.

Working as a team of dedicated professionals - each with unique knowledge, talents and experience - Barbara Wheeler (daughter of Emma Lee), Katherine Lippincott (grand-daughter of Emma Lee), Jennifer Alatorre (great-grand-daughter of Emma Lee) and James Lippincott provide an unparalleled level of quality service with knowledge and integrity.

Focusing on a select group of clients cultivated through years of referrals and hard earned trust, the LIPPINCOTT GROUP is able to dedicate all efforts on the needs of our clients rather than expending energy on mass marketing schemes.

The LIPPINCOTT GROUP provides personalized service to suit the specific and individual needs of each seller and buyer.

Why use the LIPPINCOTT GROUP? Because your satisfaction is, and has always been, our ultimate goal!

The LIPPINCOTT GROUP has evolved from a solid real estate business established by Emma Lee Halverson - a distinguished local real estate agent who developed a stellar reputation for her commitment to knowledge and integrity.

In 1972 Emma Lee Halverson joined Pasadena based Whipple Realty while working as a Counselor at Marshall High School. While working part time as a Realtor she gained experience and expertise so that by the time she took early retirement from Pasadena Unified School District in 1984, she had built a large client based referral system and had become Whipple’s top producing agent.

In 1988 Emma Lee moved to the San Marino office of Bliss Keeler to partner with her daughter, Barbara Wheeler. In her first year there she was awarded the top award for production. Her referral business spread to Barbara and they successfully worked as a team until her retirement in 1995.



Barbara’s private desire was to later team up with one of her daughters and in 2005 her dream came true with Katherine joining her successful referral business. Jennifer joined to the team in 2010, first as an intern, and then as a liscensed real estate agent.

Built on the foundation laid by Emma Lee, the LIPPINCOTT GROUP represents four generations of continuous local real estate experience, recognized by our clients and professional peers alike for our legacy of professionalism, competence and success.
